BREVARD COUNTY • MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA – The Space Coast will ring in the new year with the sound of classic rock as Heartland Hits takes the stage Saturday, January 17, at the Merritt Island Moose Lodge.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. Seating will be arranged at round tables of eight, and a full liquor bar will be available along with drinks and snacks for purchase.

Tickets are priced at $35 and $45 and can be purchased through ShowTickets.live.

Presented by Allengang Entertainment, the show celebrates the heartland rock genre made famous by artists such as Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Heartland rock emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s, blending elements of rock, folk, country, and rhythm and blues while telling stories rooted in blue-collar life, American dreams, and everyday struggles.

Heartland Hits pays tribute to that era with a six-piece band led by Brazilian-born performer Zee R, who has spent more than 25 years entertaining audiences through recordings and live performances around the world.
